Proposition 8

You gotta love bigots. You really do. They're so entertaining.

Why are they entertaining, you ask? Well, because they are so stupid you just gotta laugh at 'em.

The most trifling form of bigotry in modern America is the "issue" over marriage equality. How dare a segment of the population want to get married. Those bastards, wanting all that equality! How the fuck dare they!

Wait, what? I thought I lived in America for a second. You know, where freedom and glory reigns supreme.

Or does it?

Nope. It doesn't. Because if it did then being wanting to marry the person they love wouldn't even be an issue. Why do so many people (*cough*Christians*cough*) feel like imposing their personal feelings on the the rest of the country (which, sadly, largely agrees with them to an extent) is the right thing to do? Who the fuck stood up and made them boss? Nobody, that's who.

They think they're doing the Lord's work, when the Bible has shown time and time again that God is a liberal, not a conservative. God wouldn't give two shits about who was getting married. He wouldn't roll like that.

The Bible doesn't even condemn such unions. It doesn't. Find me the verse. What's that? You can't? Thought so.

Which brings me to this posts subject. Proposition 8. An amendment to the Constitution of the State of California which will nullify, if passed, the right of every Californian the right to marry whom they wish. Imagine that, an amendment to eliminate someone's right to marry. Wow! Crazy world I live in.

How can an amendment for a civil right be put on the ballot in a so called civilized (lol, yeah right) country? Imagine if the civil rights movement for Blacks were put up to national referendum? How do you think that would turn out? One thing is for certain - we (us Black folk) wouldn't have the grand opportunity to vote one of our own in the highest office in the country.

If you don't like certain types of marriage, here is an idea - DON'T GET ONE. Oh my god, how dare I even suggest such a thing. How DARE I SUGGEST SUCH AN AWFUL IDEA! Instead, they'd rather put on their Nazi uniforms and start acting like the fascists they really are.

I hope I live to see the day when marriage equality is reached throughout this entire country. Where being gay isn't something that is shocking, socially unacceptable, or something that may threaten your life. It is sickening that in a country as great as ours, that this behavior isn't causing massive outrage. Instead it is being swept under the rug like it isn't a problem that segments of the population are being treated as 2nd class citizens in the year 2008.

If you're a real Christian, a person that truly believes in what America stands for, you will not vote YES on Proposition 8 on November 4th. I'm hopeful that the citizens of the great State of California will vote this awful piece of bigotry off the books. Please Californians; do us all a favor and show the world that the United States of America isn't only full of bigoted hicks.

It's a shame (and a blessing) that I live on the other side of the country in the amazing State of New York. I'd love to be able to vote to strike down Proposition Bigotry 8.
